“Managing the Environmental Impact of AC-35” – that was the theme of the eighth biennial Bermuda Zoological Society (BZS) Environmental Youth Conference, which was held at the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo on Monday 14 and Tuesday 15 March.

Sixty M3-S4 student delegates and their teachers were selected from the island’s public and private schools to attend the two-day conference. The Ernest E. Stempel Foundation has dedicated funds since 2000 to ensure this important educational conference is available to Bermuda’s students. The Foundation’s support allows BZS to inspire, equip and connect young people to our environment and challenges them to think bigger and differently about what is possible in our community.
